Do's And Dont's
Fortunately, it is not very difficult to overcome this deficiency. Vitamin C is found in abundance in citrus fruits and berries as well as in germinated grains and pulses and in coriander leaves. What you should remember however, is that Vitamin C cannot be stored by the body. All the excess gets flushed out, which is why it is important to have at least some amount of Vitamin C every day.
While Vitamin C does not have any toxic side effects, when taken in large quantities i.e. more than 2000mg per day consistently (equivalent to eight 250mg concentrated vitamin C tablets), it can cause excessive urination, skin rash and kidney stones, which should of course be avoided.
Food Items You Can Easily Consume
- Citrus Fruits: The most common source of Vitamin C is citrus fruits. It is said that one lime or orange per day may be enough for one to get their required dose.
- Bell Peppers: Whether you are baking an Italian casserole or tossing vegetables in an Asian stir-fry, make sure to add bell peppers for your Vitamin C kick.
- Broccoli: This wonder vegetable is a storehouse of benefits. Packed with Vitamin C, include it in your salads.
- Papaya: Just half a cup of papaya can give you enough of the vitamin for the entire day. It’s many other benefits are additional motivation to have the fruit.
- Strawberries: A bowl of strawberries and cream may be sinful but it is also packed with Vitamin C.
- Tomatoes: Eaten raw, tomatoes have plenty of the vitamins. Eat them plain or toss them in a salad, add them into sandwiches or burgers, tomatoes are the most versatile fruit to eat.
